[8u20] Request for approval for bulk integration of hs25.20-b02

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Alejandro,

we (SAP) would appreciate if you avoid bulk integrations as far as possible.
For our internal VM (not the ppc port) we consume jdk8, then jdk8u20 and only
much later jdk9.  Thus we have to sort out the changes that appear several times, 
but fix the differences between them.  Bulk integrations complicate this a lot.

Thanks and best regards,
  Goetz.

Subject: [8u20] Request for approval for bulk integration of hs25.20-b02

Requesting approval to integrate hs25.20-b02 into jdk8u20-b01.

A webrev is available at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~amurillo/8u20/hs25.20-b02-jdk8u20-b01.webrev/

Pre-integration testing is in progress; the integration will proceed
only after SQE has analyzed the results and approved.

The fixes in the proposed integration are below.  All have undergone
nightly testing and are already in a jdk9 repository.

8027364: PSScavenge accounts too large code section to StringTable unlink
8027454: Do not traverse string table during G1 remark when treating them as strong roots during initial mark
8027455: Improve symbol table scan times during gc pauses
8027476: Improve performance of Stringtable unlink
8027746: Remove do_gen_barrier template parameter in G1ParCopyClosure
8028553: The JVM should not throw VerifyError when 'overriding' a static final method in a superclass.
8030027: nsk/jvmti/scenarios/hotswap/HS101/hs101t006 Crashed the vm on Linux-amd64: SIGSEGV in JavaThread::last_java_vframe(RegisterMap*)+0xfa
8030955: assert(_prologue != NULL) failed: prologue pointer must be initialized
8031045: Access checks should precede additional per-instruction checks
8032014: new hotspot build - hs25.20-b02
